The purpose of the Comprehensive Sustainable Energy Committee is to assist the Town in identifying, designing, and implementing programs and projects for fostering energy conservation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy generation in the Town and in all segments of the community. Our efforts address all forms of energy use: electricity, natural gas and heating oil, and transportation. The benefits may include reduced exposure to expected future energy cost trends, decreased reliance on imported energy sources, reduction of 'greenhouse gas' emissions and related pollutants, and stimulation of local sustainable energy business.
